Journalism, with poli Sci and history minors.   Perhaps you should occasionally ponder a new thought.

Too busy contributing to society with my major.

33 years as a firefighter.   I am comfortable with my contribution.

The 12 years as a neighborhood liaison for the department after starting the program, founding the PAC and then being on it for 23 years, and coaching 39 youth sports teams also shows that I am nothing  but a leach.   Guilty!



PS, in case you are wondering, NCMU, this time the alterations are primarily to clean up random periods from my cellphone.

Then why degrade his major?

What about college minors?  Can I redeem myself there.

I suspect he was maligning journalists in general.    Much like the rest of us malign dentists.

The Dems could regret giving the wingnuts power here.

Had a handful of moderate Dems voted against the ouster, keeping McCarthy as speaker, it would have rewarded compromise and pre-empted future attempts by Gaetz and his small band of anti-democracy yahoos to try to take over the government.

McCarthy was a lousy speaker who bent the knee at the alter of the seditionist god even after having correctly (albeit briefly) blamed the future criminal defendant for fomenting a violent coup attempt against America. But McCarthy at least was the devil the Dems knew, and a guy who at times was willing to work across the aisle for what he felt was the good of America.

Reagan is spinning in his grave today, and Tip O'Neill might be, too.

The very worst politicians in America got exactly what they wanted -- and it has absolutely nothing to do with deficit-reduction, governing or serving their constituents. They got attention, chaos and, most importantly, attaboys from the 91-felony criminal defendant they worship.

It's hard to see McCarthy's ouster turning out well for our great democratic republic.

Yes.    However, McCarthy probably could have avoided it if he had not turned on the Democrats over the weekend after using them to keep the government running.    Don't get a continuing resolution and then turn on those who gave you the votes.

This is one point, Brother MU, you and I absolutely agree. Had the Democrats intervened, McCarthy would have owed them and the spirit of compromise might have prevailed in the House. Instead, as you note, we're headed for chaos.

Now back to the main topic. I'm not a liberal Democrat but I respected Senator Feinstein greatly. She was a trailblazer for women in the Senate and she represented her constituents well. You have to admire that. She was a great American and she will be missed.

I think the opposite is true. But you guys can have your fun pretending Rs would think rationally. Trump just called for the execution of all shoplifters and what R said "Hey, that's crazy"? The majority of them supported the overthrow of the US government.

But, yes they would do the rational thing.

You guys are as loony as they are if you think Dems voting for a snake like McCarthy would work.


And it doesn't matter anyway. By 2:31, we will all be zombies. Coincidentally, and there really are no coincidences, I am scheduled for my booster at 2:30 today (not a joke or sarcasm).
